Yesterday:
-
i had another round of chemo.
-
high dose ara-c was pumped into my body for two hours and the clear liquid felt like hell
-
ara-c is actually an anti-metabolites which is similar to normal body molecules. they stop the cells from making cancer cells and repairs DNA
-
as expected, i was exhausted, thirsty, was throwing up and irritated after the session
-
i got hives (sore, red spots on my neck, feet and arms)
-
i have 2 big mouth sores and it is so hard to drink water even with a straw. ang sakit! damn!
Today:
-
i was throwing up the whole morning.
- early afternoon: my blood count dropped and was given platelets.
- middle of the transfusion: i had an allergic reaction so they gave me 100 mg of benadryl
- at this moment: i feel so tired and grouchy
- praying that the Lord restores the spirit of submission, patience and hope within me
- saw the assessment of my medical bill and felt sad about it (we need to pay at least half of it within the week)
- i want to sleep, sleep, sleep, sleep and sleep
Tomorrow:
-
another round of chemo—- a date with ara-c
-
anticipating a good result from my cardiologist, re: 2D echo
Please keep those prayers coming.

Hang in there, dear Lex. Listen, I also have one dream. To see you in person one day. To see this man, at long last, who emerged triumphant because of God’s love and mercy.
I know this dream of mine will come true. And I can’t wait. We are always praying for you, my friend.
lex: thanks for the prayers ella. that dream will definitely come true
God bless friend.

lex…
thank you for your text message last new year or christmas ata yun…really appreciate it…
I apologize for not being around the past months, I was in shambles, broken and all of a sudden i felt i needed time to be anonymous for a while….the reason for my being in hiatus….
but now, like in my first post for 2008,
“Slowly…
i am slowly
emerging from my self-made cocoon
from what seemed to be
a long hiatus
i am about to fly…
slowly…
slowly… ”
You are always in my prayers, lex….dami pa ako kwento…now I’m back to tell my side of the story….slowly..i’m getting back online….
You are loved! Your are special in wondrous ways! We are here for you!
lex: hi tin. thanks. Glad you are back. God bless
